I don't know, what with my majors (history and government). I don't wanna teach, and I'm essentially unelectable. People tell me I should write a book, and I do enjoy writing, so who knows.
I DO know that I have a guaranteed job/career at Best Buy if I wanted to - which I don't. Although I do know that if I went that route, I'd end up making close to six figures within a few years.

I'm a teacher. I'm looking at going back to university and taking either speech pathology or physical therapy.

Wasting my time until September.
I'll probably manage to get to the Univ... 4 years of Elec & Comp Eng using IDF money, and then serve the mandatory 3 years getting 100$ a month and another 3 with normal paycheck to "repay" for the education.
If that doesnt work... I'll go to the Logistics Corps. Spend half a year on various jobs, then do an Officer's course and spend another 3.5 years doing whatever logistics officers do.

I'm excited! I'm soon moving to another city and start studying in University there, and will study Software Engineering for minimum of 5 years. I'll plan to make it in 5 years too. It is strictly programming, and then I'll be studying mathematics too at the side. It's also a new 'project', no one has graduated from it, the pioneers will be continuing on their 3rd year this fall. It is supposed to be very competetive and challenging, and of the 70 that has entered the department and specializing, only 25 are still going on to their second and third year. So I'm very very excited, I know I can handle it, and that it gives me lots of tools to make it in the job market.
It is closely supported by Nokia, and I've been told by the current students that almost everyone of them has been encouraged to come and work for Nokia, which is maybe the best employer in the whole country. It's a good education, but it's very tough and competetive. I know I'll make it.
After second year, I want to transfer to the US and if possible, complete the degree there, and then stay and work in the US. If I don't get to transfer, then I'll finish my degree here, and come to the US after that. I'll be hoping to get a good job, and as my parents live in the US and know lots of people, I hope to exploit that. Actually one of my moms friends has already asked about me and when I'll be graduating. Damn, I'm just starting!
Then, marry a nice American girl, get the citizenship and live happily ever after, make 2 or 3 kids.
My life now? I'm happy, because of all the chances that I've been given. Where is it going? TO THE TOP BABY!

I'm going to Oxford this Auturm to study Economics and Management, if I get the grades. From then I either want to go into the Civil service, taking an MBA after a few years; go over to the US to study law or economics (Yale has a great course in International Development Economics that I was looking at); or go into the City and do the investment banking/management consultancy thing for as long as I can be bothered to get some money, and then buy and open a chocolate shop, with a little bar next door, with live music, weird cocktails and chocolates being taken around like hors d'overs. I can dream 
More short term, I'm hoping to work in public finance this summer, as I want some experience of how the government policy works on the ground level (and my mum works for the police force, so I know the head of finance there). Then take a couple of weeks out to write a couple of essays, read a few books, and get ready for working my **** off next year

I just graduated high school and finished my exams, and I'll be attending the University of Alberta in the fall.
My plans? Uh... Well, I'm taking polisci, history, anthropology, economics... that kind of thing. I'll see how far I can get, academics-wise, with that stuff. As for job prospects in 4 years... Well, there probably won't be many. I'll likely end up with a gubmint job, which is fine. I'd love to join the foreign service, work at an embassy and all that... So I'll have to work quite hard at my francais if I want to do that.
But right now, I'm not too worried about it. I'm just gonna relax, work through the summer, get moved into my apartment (only two blocks from the river valley; YES!), and try to enjoy my university years.
I hear this so-called 'joy' can be very fulfilling.
